We are delighted to present, in collaboration with Sands Cinema Club and East London Humanists, a one-off showing of Inherit the Wind (1960), a powerful and classic fictionalised account of the notorious Scopes Monkey Trial, when Darwinian evolution went up against creationism in the dock. Written in the 1950s, it also served as a parable on the chilling effect of the McCarthy witch hunt on free discussion. It is as relevant now as it was then. Here’s a short taster.
Sands Films is an independent studio housed in an 18th century building close by the Thames and is a remarkable and fascinating destination in its own right. It is conveniently located opposite the historic Mayflower Pub, from which the pilgrims set sail to the ‘New World’, and where we aim to round off the evening with a festive drink.
